I don't 'ignore' everything they reported ... before they pulled out. It has no bearing on what ultimately happened. Their final reports should have prevented the war. That's the title of the article and the thesis.
The troop buildup has no bearing on the wrong decision and the PNAC agenda adds nothing to the readers understanding of the wrong decision, unless there is some proof that this is what the Bush administration used as the basis for its decision. Some folks say oil, some folks say to right the wrongs of his father's administration, etc. There is no proof of exactly why.
My article concentrates on facts and what was happening at the time. Not guesses and not revisionist history.

No, they didn't. But even if we accept your statement as fact for a moment. Only the President

No, they didn't. That is revisionist history. IWR and UN SEC RES 1441 were for the same purpose...

That is because you are coming at this from a revisionist history perspective.
